Pulling the reed is the most important entertainment activity during the Spring Festival for Hakka people after they entered Sichuan. Many farmers who usually work in production make reeds by hand before the Spring Festival. They use Sichuan's unique large spotted bamboo. Each reed has two wind gates at both ends, and the two ends of the reed are thick and small. The player holds a thin bamboo pole in both hands, and the other end of the bamboo pole is connected with a thick line with rosin, and then the rope is put on the middle of the reed. The hands use force to beat the drum up and down, so that the reed rotates at high speed. When the rotation reaches a certain speed, it makes a pleasant sound. The loudest sound can be heard for miles around. It is similar to the northern part called shaking diabolo. The reed, commonly known as diabolo, is a brilliant flower in the national culture garden of my country. In ancient times, diabolo was called "Hu Qiao", also known as "ground bell", "empty bell", "wind gourd" and "old cow". Playing diabolo has a long history in my country. The earliest record of diabolo can be found in the Xuannian period of the Northern Song Dynasty, and it has a history of nearly a thousand years. It is recorded that when Song Jiang saw people playing Hu Qiao, he was inspired and wrote a poem: "One sound is low and the other is high, the loud and clear sound penetrates the blue sky, there is a lot of heroic strength in the air, but it is in vain without anyone to support it." In the Ming Dynasty, Liu Dong and Yu Yizheng wrote in "A Brief Account of the Scenery of the Imperial Capital": "The empty bell is hollowed out of wood, with a side mouth, and is filled with asphalt. It stands on the ground like an upturned bell, and the handle is flat on top. Another line is wrapped around the handle, and there is another bamboo ruler with a hole, which is used to measure the rope and hold the empty bell. The rope is tightened on the right, and the bamboo is tightened on the left. Once tightened, the empty bell will roar and turn rapidly." There were more records of diabolo in the Qing Dynasty. Zuoguan Laoren recorded in "Qing Dynasty Wild Records": "Among the toys of children in the capital, there is a so-called empty bell, which is the ground bell from other provinces. The two ends are made of bamboo tubes, with a pillar in the middle, and the sound is made by pulling a rope. Only the hollow bells in the capital are round and flat, with an axle and two wheels. The sound is clearer and longer than those made in other provinces. "The Qing Dynasty's "Yanjing Sui Shi Ji" records: "The diabolo is shaped like a wheel with a short axle in the middle. Children use two sticks tied with cotton threads to play with it." Li Ruohong of the Qing Dynasty also recorded in "Chao Shi Cong Zai": "The diabolo is played at every temple fair. It is shaken with a rope and thrown up several feet high. It is still caught with a rope and various postures are practiced. "It vividly describes the scene of diabolo playing among the people at that time. Pulling the diabolo combines fitness, entertainment and performance. It can be practiced in all seasons, suitable for men, women, old and young, and is very popular among the masses. In the impression of the Hakka elders in Dongshan, Luodai, if they don't pull the diabolo, it means they don't celebrate the New Year. Therefore, this childhood sport is very important for the inheritance of Hakka customs.
